Alonso said the omission was a game-day decision as Chelsea won 2-0, while questions continue over Fernández’s future and possible move to Real Madrid.
- On Thursday, Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso excluded midfielder Enzo Fernández from the squad for the Carabao Cup match against Luton Town, though The Blues won 2-0.
